It just felt like they needed to have some drama before the last episode and so they shoe-horned the 'going abroad' trope to create it. It didn't feel organic like the other episodes (Day going blind, or Day confessing to August and it going wrong) - this was completely unnecessary. And also - why did Mhok lie to Day? This, again, felt forced. Mhok should have been straightforward with him and been like, 'Hey, they offered me the job, but I love you and don't want to do long distance', and that's it!! It doesn't even have to be because he's blind!! There are ways to create drama without it being nonsensical - for example, have Mhok be overprotective of Day and Day get tired of it, because he feels overwhelmed and like he's not being taken seriously as a grown adult man. That would have been *great* ------ On the other hand, love Phojai and Night, they're adorable, I hope they become a little family with Me.

The acting is AMAZING, the story is super unique, and you can feel the horror just like the main character - seeing the game fall apart as he tries to fix everything had me so stressed omg ------- Lowered the score because the breakup was just unnecessary. Don't make my boy cry please.

Not that this series has been a masterpiece so far, but I was expecting a little bit more after the last episodes. This was not good. Segasaki was basically stalking Yoh the entire time, stayed outside the building like the insane man he is, took Yoh with him while ignoring the owners of the apartment he had just burst into, and proceeded to ignore Yoh after a fucking dumb misunderstanding. Honestly, at this point I ship Yoh more with the random husband than with Segasaki. Idk how the hell I'm supposed to be rooting for him - he's so possessive and creepy and just confusing. Only good moment of this ep, as I said, was Husband and Yoh having fun and being friends. That's it.

I thought I'd love this series after watching the first two episodes. I had a really good feeling about it. Everything felt so different than all the other bl k-dramas I've watched: it was bold, had a lot of innuendo and sexual tension, and overall was funny and entertaining. Idk what has happened with the last two episodes. They're just plain boring, nothing is going on and there's too much focus on the other two guys that are chasing after Lee Jun (who, mind you, doesn't even seem interested in either of them. He just looks perpetually confused). I cannot believe that they still haven't even kissed by ep. 5 (out of 8!!). They also pulled the 'miscommunication' trope with the fiancée, I really hope they fix it soon.

I can't believe we got TWO kisses in a single episode. I'm still unsure about whether the first one was real or one of the fujoshi's fantasies, but I'll take it anyway. We also got an 'I love you' (no, I'm not counting the 'Ocean' add-on at the end, that was obviously an excuse to say that he loves him). I feel like we're missing a scene where they hook up or something because they keep acting like they're a couple (see: the 'I'm slick all over' scene where Su Yu kicked him under the table?? What was that??). Anyway, great episode, I was invested all the way through.Also, one last thing, why was the beach scene a green screen?? Was it so hard to film on a real beach? It looked so weird lol

Their reunion was so cute, the way Wu Bi was grabbing Su Yu's face- I love their scenes together

I spent the entire episode screaming 'Just tell him!!' at the screen because he just wouldn't?? Literally wrote 'TELL HIM' like 5 times in my notes throughout the episode (and also: 'What did she just say??') Idk the girl got on my nerves, she needs to go like now. Loved the acting, the intensity, and the drama (it's a first for me lol). Wu Bi went a little bit off the rails, let's hope he can chill after this - he went all possessive and stalker-y on Su Yu, and I don't know how to feel about that. However, I would be lying if I said I didn't feel a little bit giddy when he said 'Su Yu is mine' - is it toxic? Yes. Am I clinging desperately to any proof available that this is going to be a BL and not just a bromance? Maybe.

Lost points because 1) they pulled the miscommunication trope with Karan's supposed girlfriend and 2) the fucking fujoshi please can we STOP with these characters?? It's not funny, it's weird, shipping fictional characters is fine but not people you know in real life (and certainly not having them as your wallpaper wth) - I swear I'm so tired of this trope. Also, how the hell did Karan get Achi inside his own house? Was the door just open? ---- And ALSO. Why do they keep calling Jinta 'Uncle'? My poor man is only a year older than his 'partner' but they treat him like an old man lol

I think I would have been better off not reading the reviews before watching because I was fully convinced that this was going to be depressive and dramatic but it wasn't like that at all.. I have been fooled

They check all the boxes for a perfect happy ending, but I still found it boring and basic compared to what we got in other episodes. I stand by what I thought a while back- they should have ended the series at 10 episodes. The story was drawn-out when it didn't need to be and it became repetitive. I also didn't really like how Yoryak's trauma was handled bc I'm sorry, why did it look so goofy?? Idk it wasn't done that well and I think it shouldn't have been an element of the plot at all. Not to mention that neither of the main leads seem to have much experience with acting out big emotional scenes, despite their amazing chemistry. ---- To end on a good note, though, the wedding was so cute and I love that it could now happen irl too T-T

Ok so after idk how much time stalling I finally finished the series and I have mixed feelings about this episode. First of all, I think that time jumps as a storytelling device are kind of weak for this kind of series. It's not long enough to evoke nostalgia, and it tries to force a sense of character growth that the viewer hasn't been present for. Why did it have to be three years later? What impact does that have on the story, that the viewer is aware of? The characters are practically the same -they only have different occupations. Second of all - Mhok was way too insistent when trying to get Day back. I understand that Day is kind of into it, but if I were him I'd be turned off by the repeated unasked physical contact, babying, and on-the-nose pleas for a second chance. Then, about the wedding -beautiful, amazing, I love Phojai and Night so much. And finally. I don't like that Day got his sight back. I'll expand on this in the review.

The main couple is so good (and so is the other one), but I just don't care about the dramaaa - like I think it's still the acting or smth because I found myself skipping ahead multiple times during the episode. Also hated the scene where they're clowns bc what are y'all doinggg not in front of the kids aghhh

Just like in the og I sympathize so much with Atom and Mudmee because sports will never be my thing. I love all the couples but, just like in the og, I don't really like Kongthap/Ida's response to being confessed to. "More than friends but less than boyfriends" is very vague and it's kind of playing with Atom's (very real) feelings.

Bumping up the rating just because my girl took a leap of faith and I nearly died while watching her scene with Half. Well done
